Inocybe spuria, a new species in section Rimosae from boreal coniferous forests

Inocybe spuria, a new boreal species in section Rimosae, is described. It resembles I. squamata but differs in having narrower spores. In Fennoscandia there are documented records of I. spuria from Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Sequence comparison in Genbank indicates that it also occurs in boreal to sub-boreal regions of North America. Inocybe squamata is known only from nemoral and hemiboreal regions in Fennoscandia.
